Ho-Ho-Hostess Gifts for Every Budget
The holidays are here and, with them, lots of holiday gatherings! There’s nothing we love better than sharing a bite and some laughs with friends and family, while surrounded by cozy decorations with carols playing in the background.
One thing we do not like? The feeling of panic that creeps in when we realize we’re about to leave for a party empty-handed. With all the hustle and bustle this time of year, it’s easy to do, which is why we always recommend keeping a few gifts on hand. Below are some of our favorite host/ess gifts to keep on hand, at a variety of price points. They’re sure to make you the most welcome guest at the party!
Under $25

Hand Blown Glass Tree
(Varying styles & sizes, starting at $70)
Start a collection they’ll cherish year after year with a hand-blown glass tree. We love them spread across a mantel, or shelf, with string lights woven through to make them glow.
